--- Comment #4 from sternn sternn@uhacc.org 2008-08-14 10:33:35 --- I don't think it's a game bug. If it is, it's Wine-specific.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Windows box to test this on. No other players on the server seem to have a problem with that name.
I'm wondering if we should schedule some kind of test, where a bunch of Wine-TF2 users join a server, have someone with a name like Shades (or Shades himself) join, and see if anyone crashes out.
